[Sir_Crocodile]

surprised there wasn't a kickstarter for it

 

[Arc Christelle]

YES FUCKING YES. GET THIS MONEY INAFUNE.

 

[cerulily]

Oh cool, finally i'll get to give it a go!

What was the verdict on the 3ds version?

 

[Holy Order Sol]

hell yeah

 

[Aru]

Yes! Now I don't have to buy it on eShop. It's already been 1 year? WOW.

 

[shadow2810]

So it's a version with complete story element?

YES FUCKING YES. GET THIS MONEY INAFUNE.

It's not Inafune game though

edit: fuck them for not giving us at least an option to buy dlc patch for 3DS ver.

This sounds hilarious.

 

[Nachos]

Not that it really means much, given the type of game it is, but did they ever add the dialogue that was removed from the Japanese version?

This sounds hilarious.

Yeah, that made me do a double take.

 

[JordanKZ]

I actually really enjoyed the 3DS version until the final boss. I really didn't enjoy the sudden spike in difficulty.

apparently he is the producer

They didn't. Adding content to 3DS game is too hard I guess.

apparently he is the producer

Really? I remember in an interview they only mentioned asking Inafune some inputs but he wasn't part of the project.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Huh

You're right. For some reason I had the notion that comcept published this, but wiki says init did themselves. Weird.

 

[Pudge]

Very cool! At lease some Mega Man inspired games are coming out this year between this and 20XX

 

[JCX]

Really fun game especially if you liked Mega Man X. Will Mighty Gunvolt be included here?

 

[Frumix]

I said damn. Never bothered to get 3DS version for reasons.
That's a welcome release.

Time to cringe at that Russian translation.

 

[Gbraga]

AW YISSSS

I'm in, gime.

Amazing avatar.

Actually on facebook they said it was a space issue that can't be overcome.

Anyway i will gladly buy it again and play it again! Such a good game.

 

[Arc Christelle]

Wow, lol I had no idea given the direction.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Omfg, I'm so double dipping, the game is amazing!

Tell me the game is 60fps now, please!

Also all the Japanese dialogue with English subs? Holy shittttt

 

[sörine]

60fps?

 

[Aveyn Knight]

Great news; really enjoyed the original.

Hopefully more people get to enjoy it now : )

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

What about Mighty Gunvolt? Still a 3DS exclusive?

 

[@MUWANdo]

apparently he is the producer

He gave them advice and they used his name for marketing purposes but he didn't actually contribute much of anything to the game itself and it existed before he knew about it.

 

[Shizuka]

What about Mighty Gunvolt? Still a 3DS exclusive?

It's getting released for PS4 and Vita in Japan as "Gal Gun Volt".

 

[@MUWANdo]

What about Mighty Gunvolt? Still a 3DS exclusive?

Mighty Gunvolt will be out a month later and just like on 3DS, if you buy Azure Striker Gunvolt within a month of release you'll get Mighty Gunvolt for free when it comes out.

jjust reporting from the video in op

 

[TimmiT]

EDIT: nevermind

 

[Tizoc]

Glad to see it making its way on Steam

 

[rockman zx]

Very smart move, I hope the upgrade the 3DS version or release it on VITA with all this new content.

 

[rockmanjoe]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS
My favorite 3DS game! Double dipping so hard!!

 

[Pejo]

Nice! My patience paid off! Nothing against the 3DS version, but I wanted this on PC.

 

[Intel_89]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

 

[MCD]

finally a place to buy this game with a real account system.

now only need phoenix wright 5.

 

[Crocodile]

The announcer for that trailer sounds like he belongs in a fighting game LOL

Anyway this looks pretty cool and it's nice they plan to support the game with extra features over the next few months after release

 

[texhnolyze]

I thought it's gonna be some kind of mecha/ship shooter game.
Turns out it's an action platformer, like Megaman? Interesting.

 

[-Horizon-]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

space issue? wat

 

[Momentary]

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!! Wanted to play this for a while and was dumbfounded that it didn't get a release on STEAM when it was first announced. So happy. Will buy as soon as there is a purchase button.

 

[Intel_89]

space issue? wat

Yeah, I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Huh... didn't see that coming. Well, now I wish I didn't buy the 3DS version. Oh well.

Wonder if it'll come to GOG.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

I understand the desire to bullshit because they don't think they'd make their money back on work for the 3DS version, but really, did they have a meeting and decide the excuse should be "space issues?"

No one stood up and said "Yo what if we lied about it in a way that made sense?"

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Apparently they're not going to release the updates on the 3DS due to "limited space issues".

goddamnit these people just won't fucking stop arguing

 

[Nzyme32]

So I had no idea what this game was. Rather than Inafune selling it, it appears I want the game shown at the end that comes free with it - which reminds me so much more of Mega Man, which I love

 

[Momentary]

Yeah, I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.

I thought spoken dialogue takes up a lot of space? I don't know the 3DS situation. I'm sure it's able to use external flash cards or something which would make that decision kind of weird.

 

[LordGorchnik]

Is the Steam version adding back in all the missing dialogue they took out in between missions?

It got really silly seeing Gunvolt say the exact same damn thing in-between every single mission.

New game modes might be cool.

 

[Intel_89]

I thought spoken dialogue takes up a lot of space? I don't know the 3DS situation. I'm sure it's able to use external flash cards or something which would make that decision kind of weird.

It's still a digital game, the patch can be as large as it may as long as you have an SD card with enough space for it.

 

[Brian_FETO]

PC community is going to hate this if it runs at 30, which I'm assuming it does since it's sprite based (EDIT: Nevermind, animation =/= framerate)

Otherwise they would've touted "improved performance" as a feature

Cool game though! Glad more folks can play it

 

[KNT-Zero]

Ooooh, fresh meat for the sales.

Just kidding, if the port is well done, it might as well be worth the $15 price tag. But who knows with Inafune....

 

[Zabi]

Edit: Nevermind. Learned it was fixed in the 1.2 update.

 

[Namikaze]

I loved what I played of the 3DS demo. Now to see if my toaster is more powerful than a handheld, I'm hoping this will run well..
